Making serious vows to go on a pilgrimage to Ch'ing
Liang Mountain bowing once every three steps

The Master had by now left the home-life for
more than twenty years, but he had not yet completed his karma in the
Way. He had not repaid his parents' kindness, and so he vowed to again
make a pilgrimage to Nan Hai. From Fa Hua Temple all the way to Ch'ing
Liang Peak at Wu T'ai (Five Peaks) Mountain, he made one full
prostration every three steps. At the outset, four Ch'an
monks, P'ien
Chen (Pervasive Truth), Chiao Cheng Enlightened Vehicle, Shan Hsia
(Distant Mountains) and Chiu 'ing Autumn Freeze accompanied the
Master. But the daily progress
-walking and bowing - was slow and
they gradually had thoughts of withdrawing. It was not easy going.

The verse says:
Being able to do what is troublesome is true
action.
Being able to bear the unbearable is true forbearance.
Being
able to practice the difficult is true cultivation.
Being able to take
what is unpleasant is true endurance.
